Survival
One day your walking in a dessert taking a tour of somewhat pyramid, when you see sand swirling in the distance...
Step 1. Cover up any openings in the face. Sandstorms force sand up your mouth, nose, ears, and even your eyes. To do this, get any type of cloth, (scarf, towel, unused clothes, e.t.c.) and cover your nose and your mouth simultaneously.(Simultaneously means to do something at the same time) This works better when you damp the cloth. To cover your eyes, wear goggles, or sunglasses.

Step 2. Try to stay together. Sandstorms can blind you. One moment you see sand, the next, you see nothing. Try to lose NO ONE!!!!!!!!! Even the worst person in the universe. Link arms when you see sand coming to help prevent this. Or, if you have a rope, make everyone hold on.
